A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 857: Ex-post reporting and how to use the College.
Andersen was talking about an investigation into Meyer's son Luke Meyer.
I had a fight with my father about the forward road for 2 days and he was popping out of the house and wandering around the city.
He said he was awake because of the danger at night and slept during the day.
So before Alice and the others discovered him in the alley, he was entangled in a city chimp, brought into the alley, blackmailed and assaulted, and there were four opponents.
I had the money, but I was assaulted as a result for less.
He tells me that fatherhood grudges and other such things didn't come out of the other person.
"That will be the content of the interview.
"Did the security department say anything to you?
"It is my view that it would not be a crime aimed at laboratory personnel.
The request is that we wait until tomorrow if we are going to take action because we are going to conduct an investigation on all of Wangdu's districts tomorrow.
"... if the security services are going to work that way... I'll just wait.
Takeo nods as he thinks.
"Okay.
What shall we do with Lord Meyer's son?
"It's about the path, isn't it?
We shouldn't let others step into the circumstances of the house, but what are we fighting for?
When I heard it before, Meyer said something good at the Royal College and the College of Magicians.
"Son, you seem to want to be a merchant or an artisan.
"Isn't that good?
Because I guess it's not like my child has to carry on his or her parents' work.
"Director... are you okay?
"Hmm? What is it?
"Neither do we... Lord Meyer is certainly a former magician, as is his wife.
Your son's potential magic power should be high.
You can be a good magician in the future.
"That's if you're willing.
Takeo answers without getting a haircut.
"That's true, though.
"You won't be able to target the top just for qualities or motivation.
Mr. Andersen, what is the College of Magicians to the extent that qualities alone can take the upper hand?
"No.
You can only be talented and spare no effort.
"I guess so.
And let's just say talent alone made it to about 20th place.
Will the person graduate from college and be able to use it when he/she becomes a member of society?
No... you're not. Do we want to use (...)?
"... you don't need it.
Those who lived with talent alone often make irrevocable mistakes at decisive times.
If you know your troops are in danger, you won't be able to sidestep such a person on the battlefield.
"I don't know about it on the battlefield, but at least if you're going to recruit, the qualities aren't that high, but I think you can do the actual job for as long as you find it harder to hire someone who has managed to grab a graduation in about 30th place after a hard time.
Takeo snorts too.
"Pamela Cohen, right?
"In her case, qualities are enough, but she doesn't know how to use her powers.
If you know how to use your powers, you will grow one by one.
Plus, I'm having a hard time at the College of Mages. They're going to try everything without meowing.
"You're not a fallen man for the director.
"Hehe, Mr. Andersen.
I have no magician qualities in the first place (...).
Just being in that college is more qualitative than me.
And it must have been in the dossier, right? She said her qualities were at the top.
So it's like buying a gem's raw stone that nobody sees.
She thinks she's got a big jewel.
"You're the one who processes that into gems.
Andersen sighs.
"Please cut as big and clean as you can.
Takeo smiles.
"And that wasn't what you would do in front of His Royal Highness Neil or His Highness Krina.
"Yes, it was enough.
Never mind. Keep talking.
Neil says pleasantly. Both Lynette and Klina were listening seriously.
"Ha, well, that would be good.
So, you were Mr. Meyer's son.
You don't know how to judge commerce or craftsmen as qualities.
You should put it in a shop or workshop like the one you're making it look like.
"What would the director do?
If your son tells you that he will be 13 years old and a craftsman or merchant.
"Hmm? I'm going to hit the Royal College.
Takeo says so naturally.
"... Director... it's not what I was saying..."
Andersen puts his hand on his forehead and is dismayed.
"I won't deny being a merchant or an artisan to be exact.
But you will follow these instructions until you are 15 years old.
"How could that be?
"The first one uses the Royal College to make connections.
They say the average student in the dormitory is the son of traders and clerks in Wangdu.
If we stay together for three years, we'll be of some help in post-graduate business.
The second is to make time to see if that's what you really want to do.
I'm young, you don't know the world well.
It's also possible that you're saying it with momentum.
It would be a good idea to look at all kinds of people like the sons of the same generation of aristocrats and the sons of the shops to make them look for things they really want to do.
If you look at someone your age but more talented than yourself or vice versa, you might change what you want to do.
Or maybe even strengthen your desire to be a merchant or craftsman.
You may shred your personal motivation, but for now, you'll be spending it studying until you're 15.
"I see... you have that idea.
Andersen nods.
"Either way, it's Mr. Meyer's family problem.
I guess that's not what I'm saying anyway.
Plus... there's an example of Mr. Tracy.
I'm pretty sure the idea of letting them take a detour might also be a good idea.
... Oh, wait... then there's also the backhand of letting you into the Royal College and into the College of Mages after graduation... "
"Director... what about that?
I've never heard of it.
"It could be interesting, right?
There is also a connection in the Wang capital and the magician is trained. It's hard to know anyone on either side.
"... if I taught you how to do that, the military or HR would likely raise their hands.
"Hmm... shall I think about it for a moment?
Takeo thinks.
"Takeo, is that the second prince family?
Neil comes in on the story.
"Your Highness Neil... please don't.
It's the director's bullshit, isn't it?
"Is that Mr. Takeo's bullshit? But that's a good idea.
Perhaps it is necessary to have financial resources or facilities to create the people who said that without entering the college.
Maybe it's surprisingly cheap if you can develop people and make connections at the same time.
Think Lynette too.
"Lord Lynette..."
Andersen starts having trouble saying, "These people are really going to".
"Hehe, that's funny.
"The director burned it, didn't he?
You can't lighten weird suggestions. Especially in front of the royal family!
"Yes, sir.
Andersen scolded Takeo for saying he seemed to enjoy himself.
------------------------
in the room next to the kitchen.
Two men were lining up their chairs to listen to the conversation next door.
Actually, Andersen and Meyer, the parents and children were coming in front of the kitchen together.
And by listening to Andersen and Takeo's conversation, I was about to use it as a reference for the future.
"Luke, I'm sorry.
"Dad, I'm sorry.
"So that's what the director said.
"Yeah, what Sir Kitamizato is saying is a good idea.
I'll think again if my emotions are real now, too.
And I might go to the College of Magicians. I'll think about it again.
"Right.
But when I say I want to be a merchant or a craftsman, I'm going to put you in Royal College the way the director said I would.
Whatever business you do, you still don't have enough knowledge.
You can study well and graduate from Royal College if you like.
"... okay.
Royal College or College of Magicians... I'll come to a conclusion while my father's on business.
"Right... okay.
Parent-child fights came to an end.
